The Critical Three Steps of Relocation to STL
1. When your company recognizes that your career advancement calls for a relocation to STL (St. Louis Missouri Metropolitan Area); first, accept the new job – you won’t find a better city to live our Mid-Western style of life.
2.Second tell your spouse and family the good news, you are moving to one the consistently picked favorite cities in America, just ask any sports announcer or baseball umpire,: St. Louis has the absolute best restaurants. (and if you live to 110 you could never go to the same one twice)
3.Call MetroStar® and share the good news with us.We will set you up to receive our special HOME SEARCH RADAR ™to pre-screen the available homes in your desired neighborhoods.
Using a Qualified and "Relocation Experienced" Broker is Critical
After the homes undergo filtering and selection, those that make it to the See-In-Person List will be researched further to provide you four-color photos (inside the home, the yard, aerial and Birdseye) and our comprehensive printed information package that you take into each home to rate & rank 0 to 100.Each tour results in you selecting the Top Three to include on Successive “Second-Look” Home Tours to continually compare one area with another; and to jus de pos home-against-home to find the one for you.
MetroStar® has your back
and we are ready to go to work for you.

The Better Business Bureau and American Moving & Storage Association
offer this advice to those who are moving:
Check out the moving company. All interstate movers must be licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and are assigned a motor carrier number you can verify at www.protectyourmove.gov. Also, check out the mover’s number with the Better Business Bureau.
Get estimates. Only deal with movers who are willing to come to your home and offer a thorough estimate. Over-the-phone estimates are likely to be wildly wrong.
Know your rights as a consumer. Moving-related laws vary by state. Local law enforcement or the BBB can help consumers when moving companies fail to deliver on their promises.
The American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA) is a national non-profit organization whose membership is comprised of over 3000 moving companies worldwide. AMSA acts as a clearinghouse for matters relating to consumer protection, information and arbitration.AMSA is not a governmental agency and we do not have the authority to order refunds or reimbursements for damages, force a settlement or provide legal service; however, we do remove movers from our membership that show a repeated pattern of consumer abuse or that fail to maintain our quality membership standards.

The title stands to sound reason -- that the reason it's referred to as practice, is because it changes too often to be mastered once and for all. Like Medicine or Law; Real Estate is truly an on-going practice that requires constant learning and dedicated aspirations to obtain the wisdom to claim a certain expertise, but knowing there is always more to learn.

MetroStar,® REALTORS®
WE PROMISE AND GUARANTEE
To put client interests before our own. As an Exclusive Buyer’s Broker: No conflict of interest. No steering towards or away from in-house listings. No hidden fees or profits. Unlike many, we don’t have in-house loans, escrows or have a hand in making money off of providing title services. We always want the freedom to recommend the best services and most competitive rates for our clients—and we do. This can result in savings of hundreds to thousands of dollars for our buyers.
To earn our fees, and make nothing if we cannot perform. We charge no up-front fees, no advance fees, and no transaction fees. In 99% of the case, the seller or bank-owned servicer pays our normal buyer-side real estate commissions. We openly disclose what are being paid on each property including any selling broker bonuses that may be offered on certain properties. We pay for all our home finding costs, (gasoline, printing, ink/paper, etc.) and still search for ways to save our clients both time and money.
To skillfully negotiate on our client’s behalf. For the buyer, we work hard to package financing, pricing and timing to create a successful transition into their new home. We strive to maintain our reputation for “Center-Masterpiece Transactions.”
To expertly manage your transaction from beginning to end. This will include the coordination of appraisers, inspectors, insurance underwriters, escrow demands, disclosures, legal requirements and the other unexpected events to come with the territory.
To talk to you! Like you, we tire of voice mail and touch-tone mazes. If you are represented by one of our professionals, you will almost always be able to speak with a responsive person 24/7/365. It could be as simple and frustrating as a buyer who has hit a loan-qualifying hurdle.
We listen to you! Give us a call and tell us where you would like to be in the next three months. We promise to listen and to help guide you toward your desired housing and home investment goals.
MetroStar,® REALTORS® Provides an Extra Value to Our Buyers
Unique Approach to Provider Value
Our Incoming Relocation clients have rejected the traditional Relocation Service Provider (RSP) “fee for entry,” closed network model of supplier relationships -- that usually feed in-house profits for Relocation Service Providers while passing the higher costs onto the transferee's corporation. (and you thought they were supposed to be helping your employer??)
Your employer won’t be subject to a more expensive relocation from the “too tempting for them to resist” higher owner's title insurance policy costs from the RSP’s in-house or affiliated title company, and keep repeating . . . for in-house: flood cert, surveying, broker network, insurance, mortgage loans, etc. etc. No, greed is not good for you or your company.
Instead, MetroStar’s open network is a competitive model, in which only performance and value determine a continuing relationship and the privilege to serve our clients with the best service at the lowest possible cost.
The result: Superb service for every transferee at every stage of the Home Finding and Purchasing process.
This ensures this level of best-in-class service is maintained at all times, monitoring supplier delivery and making adjustments quickly whenever needed.

Come Enjoy Our Missouri
Chesterfield Relocation ™
A large portion of Missouri is covered by spectacular forests with low mountains. Springs, lakes and rivers abound in these areas, as is the case with most of the state. The former swamplands of southern Missouri have been transformed into beautiful fertile valleys, suitable for growing an assortment of agricultural products. Much of the rest of the state is covered in graceful hills dotted with lakes and streams, which helps increase the serene atmosphere.
The wide variety of landscapes in Missouri creates diversity in its climate. Although generally Missouri experiences warm, sunny days in the summer and cool, snowy weather in the winter, the actual temperatures will vary greatly depending on the area of the state in which you are living. Luckily, Missouri does not usually experience extreme weather on either side of the spectrum, no matter what the season, and residents are able to make the most out of the wonderful season changes as they come.
Economically, Missouri is in a period of expansion. Long known for its reliance on various agricultural endeavors, as well as the transportation equipment and food processing industries, Missouri is currently experiencing rapid job growth in its health care and tourism sectors. The population of nearly 5.8 million is also enjoying a significant decrease in unemployment rates. With steady jobs and affordable housing, Missouri is gaining in popularity with those looking to relocate.

Places named after Saint Louis
King Louis IX of France
The cities of San Luis Potosí in Mexico; St. Louis, Missouri; Saint-Louis du Sénégal in Senegal; Saint-Louis in Alsace; as well as Lake Saint-Louis in Quebec, the Mission San Luis Rey de Francia in California and rue Saint Louis of Pondicherry are among the many places named after the king and saint.
The Cathedral Saint-Louis in Versailles; the Basilica of St. Louis, King of France and the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, both in St. Louis, Missouri; and the Saint Louis Cathedral in New Orleans were also named for the king. The French royal Order of Saint Louis (1693–1790 and 1814–1830) as well as a hospital in the 10th arrondissement of Paris also bear his name.
Many places in Brazil called São Luís in Portuguese are named after the French Saint Louis.
Port-Louis, the capital city of Mauritius as well as its cathedral are also named after St Louis, who is the patron saint of the island.
Apotheosis of St. Louis by Charles Niehaus, 1903.
This statue of King Louis IX of France, the namesake of St. Louis, Missouri, is located in front of the Saint Louis Art Museum. The image of this statue of the king on a horse was widely used as a graphical symbol of the City of St. Louis. It is sometimes still used as such, though the Gateway Arch has mostly assumed that role.
The original plaster model for this statue stood at the entrance to the 1904 Worlds Fair in Forest Park. After the fair the statue was cast in bronze by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company and presented to the city as part of the restoration of the park after the fair.

Most important, establish a corporate relocation program that engenders maximum employee goodwill.
Allowing the transferee to select their own Incoming Relocation Broker, personalizes their move into their new destination home.
Top reasons why employees decline relocation opportunities:
* Housing/mortgage concerns. (Can I find the best home?)
* Cost of Living. (Will my costs out-weigh the promotion?)
* Spouse employment. (Can my spouse find work?)
* Family ties/roots. (Thanksgiving in St. Louis?)
* Personal. (But, I like to ski in the afternoons!)
If you are part of a subdivision, then you have a Home Owner Association ("HOA") with Trustees. They are empowered to assess subdivision fees and special assessments as part of the Indentures that were filed with the county before your house was built.
INCOMING RELOCATIONS:
Very important step in Executive Relocations, where the relocation package usually requires that you purchase a home on a street that is maintained and repaired by the city, county, state --- or a private road that is covered by a recorded Road Maintenance Agreement.
Great idea to get a copy of these indentures, ask the subdivision trustees for a copy. Or you can get a copy emailed to you or your lender or relocation service provider for a cost of approximately $10.00
A private road maintenance agreement is often entered into for roads that are privately maintained, rather than maintained by a public body. For example, most state laws require the cost of maintenance for privately maintained roads to be shared equitably by the landowners benefiting from those roads. Lacking a formal agreement between landowners, the law usually requires an equal share contribution from each landowner. This is enforced through civil action, in other words, by neighbor suing neighbor. Private road maintenance agreements vary by jurisdiction, so local law should be consulted for specific requirements.
Neighbors in a private road maintenance agreement are responsible for paying the freight and organizing the work. Typical agreements require monthly, quarterly, or annual payments to the treasurer of the private road maintenance or homeowners' association. Maintenance occurs when a majority of participating owners decide it's necessary or according to a pre-approved schedule. Another method for road maintenance involves a combination of annual homeowner payments and county or city maintenance.
LENDERS & FANNIE MAE ARE REQUIRING
New Word on Private Road Maintenance Agreement
As per Fannie Mae Announcement 08-01 January 31, 2008
"If the property is located on a community-owned or privately-owned and maintained street, Fannie Mae will now require one of the following:
1. An adequate, legally enforceable agreement or covenant for maintenance of the street. The agreement or covenant should include the following provisions and be recorded in the land records of the appropriate jurisdiction:
o Responsibility for payment of repairs, including each party’s representative share; o Default remedies in the event a party to the agreement or covenant fails to comply with his or her obligations; and o The effective term of the agreement or covenant, which in most cases should be perpetual and binding on any future owners. If the property is located within a state that has statutory provisions that define the responsibilities of property owners for the maintenance and repair of a private street, no separate agreement or covenant is required.
2. If the property is not located in a state that imposes statutory requirements for maintenance, and either there is no agreement or covenant for maintenance of the street, or an agreement or covenant exists but does not meet the requirements listed above, the lender must indemnify Fannie Mae for any losses or expenses it may incur due to the physical condition of the street or in order to establish and/or retain access thereto .
The property must continue to meet all other requirements, including any requirements related to adequate vehicular access, as outlined in the Selling Guide."
Sample of Private Road Agreement:
WHEREAS, it is desired that the ROAD be maintained in a safe and usable condition by the LOT OWNERS; and, WHEREAS, it is desired hereto to establish a method for the maintenance and repair of the ROAD and for the apportionment of the expense of such maintenance and repair among existing and future LOT OWNERS; and WHEREAS, it is the intention that this Agreement constitute a covenant running with the land, binding upon each successive LOT OWNER of all or any portion of the PROPERTY until such time as the ROAD shall be dedicated to, and accepted for use as a public road by a government entity, NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. The PROPERTY is benefited by this Agreement, and present and successive LOT OWNERS of all or any portion of the PROPERTY are expressly bound hereby for the benefit of the land.
2. The cost and expense of maintaining the ROAD shall be divided equally among the lots created in the subdivision and paid by the LOT OWNER or the heirs, assigns and successors in interest of each such owner. However, notwithstanding anything else set forth in this agreement, after DEVELOPER has chip sealed the ROAD, for the first six (6) years of the Second Amended Grayhawk Estates Road Maintenance Agreement, DEVELOPER shall not be required to participate in ROAD maintenance costs, nor for any liability incurred as a result of such maintenance, for any Lots owned by DEVELOPER, and the pro rata share of said costs or liability shall be determined by first excluding any lots currently owned by DEVELOPER. Should DEVELOPER own any lots at the end of this six (6) year period, DEVELOPER will thereafter be treated as any other LOT OWNER and will participate in maintenance of the ROAD.
3.In the event any of the herein described lots are subdivided further, the LOT OWNERS, heirs, assigns and successors in interest of each such newly created lot shall be liable under this Agreement for their then pro rata share of expenses and such pro rata shares of expenses shall be computed to reflect such newly created lots.
4. The repairs and maintenance to be performed under this Agreement shall be limited to the following, unless the consent for additional work is agreed to by a majority vote (sixty seven (67) percent) of the LOT OWNERS owning 100% of the number of lots, excluding lots owned by DEVELOPER as described in paragraph 2 above, and including subdivisions thereof as described in paragraph 3 above: reasonable and normal road improvement and maintenance work to adequately maintain said ROAD and related drainage facilities to permit all weather access. Repairs and maintenance under this Agreement shall include, but is not limited to, filling of chuck holes, repairing cracks, repairing and resurfacing of roadbeds, repairing and maintaining drainage structures, utilities improvements, signs, markers, striping and lighting, if any, and other work reasonably necessary or proper to repair and preserve the easement improvements. Individual Lot Owners are to keep the easements on their property up to and including the roadway drainage ditches, free of weeds and debris.
5. Any repair required to correct damage to said ROAD that results from action taken by or contracted for by LOT OWNERS or their successors in interest shall be paid for by the party taking action or party contracting for work which caused the necessity for the repair. The repair shall be such as to restore the ROAD to the condition existing prior to said damage within sixty (60) days.
6. It is agreed that DEVELOPER is initially the agent to contract and oversee and do all acts necessary to accomplish the repairs and maintenance required and/or authorized under this Agreement. The DEVELOPER may relinquish this responsibility at any time, but once the DEVELOPER owns less than ten percent (10%) of the lots, or no later than January 1, 2009, whichever is earlier, the DEVELOPER will no longer be the agent and the LOT OWNERS must elect a new agent from among the other existing LOT OWNERS. Repair and maintenance work on the ROAD shall be commenced when a majority of the LOT OWNERS agree in writing that such work is needed. The agent shall obtain three bids from licensed contractors and shall normally recommend accepting the lowest of said three bids. A majority vote of the LOT OWNERS is required to accept a bid. The agent shall be paid for all costs incurred, including a reasonable compensation for the agent’s services, and such costs shall be added to and paid as a part of the repair and maintenance cost; provided, however, that compensation for the agent’s services shall in no event exceed an amount equivalent to 10% of the actual cost of repairs and maintenance performed. The agent shall notify the parties of the funds required and each party shall within forty-five (45) days pay the agent, who
